Update on Mahahual's Malecon

The
Secretary of Tourism
for Quintana Roo has
applied to the
Federal Government
to implement the
second stage of work on the Malecón in
Mahahual.

"We hope that the
project will be
approved by the
Federal Secretary of
Tourism for us to
continue with plans
to have a better
tourist
infrastructure."

Andrade Angulo
acknowledged that in
the 2013 budget
unfortunately no
resources for this
work were approved,
so he is insisting
on this in 2014. It
is necessary to
strengthen the
tourism
infrastructure in
southern Quintana
Roo.

After Hurricane Dean
in 2007 the
boardwalk (malecón)
of Mahahual was
defined as a work by
the National Fund
for Tourism
Development
(FONATUR),
comprising 2,850
meters with park
benches, landscaping
and pedestrian
lighting.

What has been built
so far is only the
first stage, which is
700 meters.

The next phase of
construction has
been modified to
include both vehicle
and pedestrian
traffic because
there is a protected
mangrove area behind
the village.
